Volunteer Telford

UMT TRUSTEE - Each Sea Cadet unit is an independent charity in its own right which must fundraise for its running costs while the parent charity of MSSC (Marine Society & Sea Cadets) funds the charitable infrastructure and provides national facilities. Our biggest supporter is the Royal Navy whose customs and traditions are at the heart of what we do.

Sea Cadet units are managed and run by committed volunteers. The unit management team (UMT) are volunteers and act as the unit’s trustees, headed up by unit chairperson, vice chairperson, secretary and treasurer. The UMT is responsible for the running of the unit at a strategic and management level.

Each Sea Cadet unit must comply with all policies and procedures issued for the governance of Sea Cadets by, or on behalf of, the MSSC Council and the Ministry of Defence (MOD). The MOD underwrites the Sea Cadet training liabilit.

Our Lunch Clubs meet once a month in a local pub, restaurant or hotel on the same day around midday to about 2.30pm to enjoy a two-course traditional meal consisting of a main course and dessert with tea or coffee for a reduced price.

Volunteer Organisers circulate menus, take member food orders and place orders with venues in advance and then attend the Club on the day to welcome members, collect payments and ensure the event runs smoothly.

Training, ongoing support and travel expenses will be provided.

Organisers are required  at The Barley, Newport, the first Wednesday of the month, The Old Orleton Inn, Wellington first Thursday of the month, The Fallow Field, Hadley, first Tuesday of the month 

Join our Bucket Brigade and help us with our community bucket collections.
Bucket collections are not only a great way to raise much needed funds for us, but also a great way to connect with our local community.

This is a perfect opportunity if you would like to support us on an ad-hoc or one-off basis. It’s flexible and can easily fit into busy lifestyles.

If you’ve a couple of hours to spare it can really make a huge difference. Money raised through our collections directly supports our caring services.

Our fundraising diary includes regular collections across the region, anywhere from Dawley Centre to Shrewsbury’s Asda.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re interested in collecting in your local area
